"Research shows autism is mostly caused by genes and usually begins before birth, while the baby’s brain is still developing. The brain differences linked to autism are present early on, not caused suddenly by vaccines."

Did the government just admit vaccines cause autism?
Despite new claims from RFK Jr. and Trump, vaccines do not cause autism. We unpack the history and the science showing no link, just political noise and old debunked theories.

Good food, great company, no germs please! Make sure you’re up to date on your flu, COVID-19, and RSV shots before Thanksgiving. It’s the easiest way to give your family the gift

CDC’s misinformation about vaccines, autism, and science cannot go unchallenged.
CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is accepting comments ahead of their next meeting—this is our chance to set the record straight.

Yes, bring crocheting back.

But do not bring chickenpox back with it.
Crocheting is cool again. Chickenpox is not. Get vaccinated.

American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics, and American Psychiatric Academy agree: Vaccines do not cause autism.
Decades of rigorous research have failed to provide credible scientific evidence linking vaccines to autism. Vaccines are among the most effective tools we have to keep people, especially infants and children, healthy and out of hospitals. Continued claims about a vaccine-autism link risk public health by causing people to delay or defer vaccination out of fear. -AAFP American Academy of Family Physicians "The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There's no link between vaccines and autism. We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. -AAP American Academy of Pediatricians President Dr. Susan J. Kressly It is essential that the administration prioritizes evidence-based support for individuals on the autism spectrum and invests in long-term comprehensive research about the disorder. Vaccines do not cause autism. Claims of any such association have been repeatedly discredited in peer reviewed studies. Autism is a complex disorder, and it is incorrect to imply that a handful of studies have established causation. A strong base of evidence shows that acetaminophen, when taken as directed, is safe for use during pregnancy. Any decisions around a course of treatment should be determined by a patient and their doctor. Leucovorin (folinic acid) has not been a recommended treatment for autism. It will require many more years of research before we know if leucovorin is an appropriate treatment for individuals with autism. Autism spectrum disorders exist on a spectrum of neurodiversity. The country must focus its resources on expanding access to care and to building the evidence-base for future treatments. -American Psychiatric Association

COVID-19 isn’t gone — and it still impacts the most vulnerable. 🌿

🆕 Fall 2025: a new JN.1-based vaccine (LP.8.1) arrives to better match circulating viruses. One visit can cover COVID, flu, & RSV protection.

✅ Stronger protection, one appointment.

Anyone who doesn't want to vax their pets should have to clean a full parvovirus isolation ward for one week. The horrific smell, the vomiting and diarrhea, the suffering & death would change their minds about prevention. The vaccine works. It prevents suffering.

The change of seasons reminds us of what matters most: family, health, and the simple rituals that keep us well. A yearly flu vaccine:
🌱 Cuts kids' risk of hospitalization in half
🌱 Shields adults 50+ from severe illness
🌱 Safeguards newborns protection passed from mom during pregnancy

Today, Governor DeSantis shared his plans to end vaccine requirements in the state of Florida. We are concerned that today's announcement will put children in Florida public schools at higher risk for getting sick and have ripple effects across their community.

Happy Birthday to Dr Maurice Hilleman, born on this day in 1919 in Miles City! Have you heard of him? Even if you don’t know who he is, he has probably affected your life. Dr. Hilleman was one of the greatest scientists the world has known, but he did his work out of the limelight.

The most life-saving vaccines of 2025-26 will probably be the flu and COVID shots. Yet they’re the ones people debate getting every single year. Let’s give them the credit they deserve.

#NIAM2025
Don't "maybe" your Flu and COVID vaccines. #1 on most adult lives saved list #1 on too few to-do lists Even though flu and COVID vaccines routinely save more lives each year than almost any other immunizations given to US adults, most people still treat them as a maybe.

Vaccines turned “outbreak” from a word that emptied schools into just another thing kids learn about in health class. They don’t need a real life example.
